Quote

A person can more easily give up his own life, but being tested through the one he loves is the hardest of trials.

Yasin Aktay · Satan is in torment indeed

Evil is never a destiny; it is always a choice that demands responsibility.

Yasin Aktay · The Last Dictator

Undoubtedly, throughout history the Islamic world has encountered very different civilizations, cultures and societies, and just as it gave them much, it has also taken much from them.

Yasin Aktay · D. Mehmet Doğan and "The Betrayal of Westernization"

Let us nevertheless not darken our hope and will, and let us keep saying: the outlaw will not rule the world.

Yasin Aktay · Normalization with Israel is a way of whitewashing crimes against humanity

It is a historical rule, a divine law, that where a dangerous, destructive, dominant power rises excessively, a saving power also emerges.

Social engineering aims at one thing, but the projects actually carried out produce other and unwanted results.

Yasin Aktay · History repeats itself for the United States, which draws no lessons

A person who insists on pursuing his own truths, risking and paying the price of being excluded, inspires respect whatever happens.

Yasin Aktay · Nuray Mert and "membership in a terrorist organization"

A person or a group is not wronged because he is not given more than equality.

Islamism means, above all, being able to think together with the Muslims of the world, having shared concerns and goals.

Yasin Aktay · The search for a "just global order" in Pakistan

In Islam, the lawful and the forbidden, as the criterion of good and evil, are in themselves the foundation of morality.

Yasin Aktay · Can there be no morality in politics?

Ultimately, caring about the plight of those who are unable to defend their rights, of people who have truly suffered oppression and been victimized and left destitute, is one of the most basic conditions of being human.

Yasin Aktay · Who cares about refugees and their children?

While religion was expected to withdraw from the modern world, in many parts of the world it has returned to public life.
